US Patent:

8457997, Jun 4, 2013

Filed:

Aug 30, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/215737

Inventors:

Keshav Narayanan - Houston TX, US
David Heath - Highlands Ranch CO, US
Alvin Stanley Cullick - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

Landmark Graphics Corporation - Houston TX

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 711, 705 28, 705 36 R, 703 2, 703 9, 703 10

Abstract:

A client-server based system for building and executing flows (i. e. , interconnected systems of algorithms). The client allows a user to build a flow specification and send the flow specification to the server. The server assembles the flow from the flow spec and executes the flow. A decision flow builder allows the user to build a flow targeted for the analysis/optimization of decisions (modeled by decision variables) regarding a plurality of assets in view of various underlying uncertainties (modeled by uncertainty variables). The user may specify a global objective (as a function of asset level statistics) as well and one or more constraints for the optimization. The flow may account for inter-asset correlations and inter-asset dependencies between uncertainty variables, and, inter-asset constraints between decision variables.

US Classification:

705 711, 703 2, 703 10, 705 28, 705 36 R

Abstract:

A client-server based system for building and executing flows (i. e. , interconnected systems of algorithms). The client allows a user to build a flow specification and send the flow specification to the server. The server assembles the flow from the flow spec and executes the flow. A flow may be configured to analyze the impact (e. g. , the financial impact) of a number of uncertainties associated with a plurality of assets. Uncertainty variables are used to characterize the uncertainties associated with the assets. An uncertainty variable associated with one asset may be functionally dependent on an uncertainty variable associated with another asset.

Appl. No.:

15/099768

Inventors:

- Armonk NY, US
DAVID M. HEATH - EVERGREEN CO, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

A method synchronizes data between a first computer and a second computer. An original first data in a first computer is changed into revised first data in the first computer by inserting a data change into the original first data. The data change in the revised first data is identified and transmitted to a second computer in a message. The message instructs the second computer to convert an original second data stored in the second computer into a revised second data by inserting the data change into the original second data, where the original second data and the revised second data are used and managed by a resident application software on the second computer. The message is executable without use of the resident application software on the second computer, thus allowing changes to be made across disparate platforms.

Assignee:

Leptron Industrial Robotic Helicopters, Inc. - Golden CO

International Classification:

B64C 39/02
G05D 1/00
G05D 1/02

Abstract:

An unmanned aerial vehicle/unmanned aircraft system including an airframe; a plurality of rotor assemblies respectively extending from a plurality of arms connected to said airframe, said rotor assemblies each having a rotor thereon with at least one rotor blade; a landing gear extending from said airframe; and a flight controller disposed on said airframe; wherein said flight controller receives instructions for unmanned aerial vehicle/unmanned aircraft system control.

Assignee:

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - ARMONK NY

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707622, 707624

Abstract:

A system and/or computer program product synchronizes data between a first computer and a second computer. An original first data in a first computer is changed into revised first data in the first computer by inserting a data change into the original first data. The data change in the revised first data is identified and transmitted to a second computer in a message. The message instructs the second computer to convert an original second data stored in the second computer into a revised second data by inserting the data change into the original second data, where the original second data and the revised second data are used and managed by a resident application software on the second computer. The message is executable without use of the resident application software on the second computer, thus allowing changes to be made across disparate platforms.
